Hi Ken.

Regarding "top posting" my apologies. I have limited experience interacting
with an email list. I issued a reply-all via Gmail within Firefox on
Ubuntu. Hopefully this reply is better. This reply is following some
stackoverflow advice on avoiding top-posting while using Gmail.

Thanks for the information on the setting being temporary. I will see what
I can do to test the snapshot. I am somewhat limited in what I can do given
this copy of Windows 10 is hosted in a corporate environment where I have
limited ability to download and install items, as well as, of course to
justify work-time spent on problem resolution.

Kind regards, -Randy
